Profile Information

It seems like there could be benefit to using a subdomain (or, ideally a landing redirect on the main site) in order to get the extra domain authority bump. It's unclear as to the juice drain from subdomains since google re-oraginzed webmaster tools but did not specify algorithm impact (as reported by searchengineland http://searchengineland.com/new-google-classifies-subdomains-as-internal-links-within-webmaster-tools-91401). Still, the subdomain loss is not a problem if you just point your syndication target at a redirect page on the main site. Then you get to keep all analytics inside of GA, FTW!
